Christina Aguilera and I are friends no matter what the media makes up.

I'm very, very blessed. But my safety, my privacy, and my respect are three things that I feel like are trying to be taken away from me right now. As a mother I have to speak up and say something. I have to speak up.

I don't see myself as an icon, because I just wear whatever I want to wear.

I feel comfortable in my skin. ... I used to run around my house naked when I was 13.

It all boils down to the music. That's what causes longevity.

I love my jeans and my sweats-I’m really just a tomboy at heart. So it’s really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup-and hair-ready every time I go out of my house. I’m not a believer in that, you know? On the other hand, when you do wear those sweats, you’re like, Oh God, I should step it up a notch.

I think when you experience things in your life, dealing with good and bad things, you just become stronger in so many ways.
